VxVM 5.0 Installation

public — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:49:26 GMT

Hello all,

Currently the Base VxVM 4.1 are installed on hp-ux 11.23 server. Is that necessary to remove VxVM 4.1 first if I'd like to install VxVM 5.0?

Anyone has experience for this? Any suggestion is apprecriated! Thank you

Read from page 15 of http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-5508/5991-5508.pdf

You do not bneed to first remove the old version.
You will also have to install VxFS 5.0

Hello melvyn,

Thanks for reply. The page 15 just mentioned the VxFS upgrade path. I guess you mean the step 3 to install VxVM 5.0 on page 18 implies no needs to remove VxFS 4.1 and VxVM 4.1 first(because step 1 and 2 don't mention that), that's right?

Is there something in 5.0 that you need or a bug in 4.1 that is leading you to upgrade to 5.0?

We were advised against moving to 5.0 at this point because at release some things were not supported and I always like to allow ample time for someone else to work the bugs out.
